t p BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,974, dated August 14, I883.

T at whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. FAIROHILD, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Brooklyn, Kings county, in the Stateof New York, have in-.

vented certain new and useful Improvements in -Bottles, of whichthe following is a speciaperture at its base or bottom adapted to be tightly closed or sealed, the construction and arrangement of which will be hereinafter more fully described.

The object of mly invention is to provide a bottle suitable to retain and discharge for use catsup, sauces, and other similar table relishes,'without the necessity of using a stopf per with a small or minute opening through it for such purposes, which stoppers are apt to drop out in the process of discharging, to the great annoyance of the user and loss of the contents, owing to such accidents.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 repre. sents one form of my improved bottle in section, showing each feature thereof and the manner in which theparts are combined. Fig. 2 same as Fig. 1, with the exception the screwplug is threadedwithin the orifice instead of the outside. Fig. 3 represents a removable;

bottom in combination with the body proper of the bottle.

In the drawings, the body of the bottle is indicated at A, and B is the base or bottomthereof. 0 is an opening provided with a cap or stopper, (indicated at 1),) through which opening the bottle is to befilled. The neck A is provided with a very small or reduced passage, through which the contents for which the bottle isadaptedand intended is ejected. The. ejection is usually accomplished by sudden jerks, thrusts, or shakes.

manufacturer or consumer.

Application filed April 13, 1883. (No model.)

The means I for closing the opening in the base of my improved bottle is a cap provided with a suitable thread engaging a corresponding one upon the flange or projection around said opening, as shown in the drawings. This cap may be made of the same material as the bottle itself, or otherwise, as may best suit the For many purposes, however, the usual 'cork may beused, either with or without any thread. The best mode of construction, however, is represented in Fig. 3 of the drawings, which consists in making the entire bottom removable, so as to permit of greater ease in filling, and at the same time admit of being filled entirely full, which cannot be-conveniently done in those represented in Figs. 1 and 2; besides, by the adoption of a metallic removable base or bottom the bottle is mademore ornamental. I do not, however, claim, broadly, a bottle with an opening in its base through which the body may be filled, regardless of its general formation, as I am aware that inkstands (sometimes known as the fountain inkstand) have been constructed with an inverted neck,.as it were, and a large opening in their base, through which such bottles are filled. Such I do not claim, as theycould not be used for the purcap or stopper for sealing the same, substantially as set forth.
